Abstract

John Rawls é um autor a redescobrir no ambito das políticas públicas de educacao. Ele fornece-nos uma precompreensao de uma sociedade justa. E é a partir dela que pensamos, também, a Escola, na discussao do bem-estar individual e social; na observacao do padrao de desigualdades; no atentar do conjunto institucional envolvente, assim, aqui, se desenha uma funcao de bem-estar, derivada da conhecida equacao de Bergson-Samuelson – susceptível de fornecer mais sólidas/consistentes referencias para discutir a Escola. ***** John Rawls es un autor que merece ser redescubierto al momento de discutir políticas educativas. Rawls presenta una comprensión de una sociedad justa y desde esta sociedad justa también se discute a la Escuela (como institución). El pensamiento de Rawls es útil para proporcionar una discusión combinada que relaciona el bienestar individual y social, la desigualdad y los ambientes institucionales. Por tanto, se agrega la riqueza rawlsiana en una ecuación Bergson-Samuelson muy conocida, con el fin de desarrollar una herramienta práctica para evaluar políticas educativas. ***** John Rawls is an author who deserves to be rediscovered in discussions of educational policy. Rawls provides tools to understand what is meant by a fair society. The article discusses the School (as an institution), arguing that it is far from representing such a society. Rawls’ thought is useful as it provides a discussion that links individual and social welfare to inequality levels and institutional contexts. In recognition of this contribution, the authors, insert the richness of a Rawlsian approach into the well-known Bergson-Samuelson equation, in order to develop a practical tool for evaluating educational policies.
